Lake Isabel

Highlight • Lake

Lake Isabel is a popular spot for float planes. While it's easy to fly in and out hiking here is a challenge. There can be a lot of bushwhacking the last quarter mile so proceed with long pants, patience, a good gps and caution.

Lake Isabel Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

You can park here at the Gold Bar Bouldering Parking Area and continue up the doubletrack for a little ways until you reach the trail to Lake Isabel. If you bear right just after the gate you can cut off some of the doubletrack. The trail is a little rugged but the views of the lake are spectacular.

Lake Isabel is a hidden gem. The trail is not maintained by any agency, so it may be a little difficult to follow in places, especially near the top, but the view of the lake is well worth it. There is a waterfall and campsite / picnic area just below the lake.
